Do You Serve Wahoo? Yes, Across Saunders County
Yes. Wahoo is the county seat of Saunders County, with 4,818 residents at the 2020 census, ZIP 68066. From our Lincoln office it is about 31 miles north by I-80 and US-77, so a Wahoo roof or siding job is a normal day trip for our crew. We look at the house in person before you get a written bid.
Wahoo was founded in 1870 and named for the eastern wahoo shrub that grew along Wahoo Creek. Most early settlers were Czech, German and Scandinavian. Today the town has Wahoo Public Schools, Bishop Neumann High School and Lake Wanahoo, a flood-control reservoir on Sand and Wahoo creeks about a mile north of town that opened in April 2012.
Hail Near Wahoo: The June 3, 2014 Storm
Storm reports for June 3, 2014 list 1.75-inch hail 4 miles southwest of Wahoo, hail of 2.5 to 3 inches near Weston that broke a sheriff's deputy's windshield, and 1.25 to 1.5-inch hail in Ithaca. Hail that size can bruise or crack shingles, dent gutters and break vinyl siding. Damage is not always visible from the ground, so a close look at the roof is worth it.
What we check after a Wahoo hail storm
- Shingles for bruises, cracks and granule loss, especially on the side that faced the storm.
- Roof vents, flashing and ridge caps.
- Gutters and downspouts for dents.
- Vinyl siding for cracks and holes, and window trim for splits.
Our hail and wind damage repair includes a written bid with photos you can share with your insurer.
Roof and Siding Replacement in Wahoo Often Skips a Permit
Wahoo's permit page says no building permit is needed for replacing roofing, shingles, siding, storm windows, windows, steps, decks or porches, as long as the structure is not expanded, enlarged or structurally changed. A permit is required for roof structure repair or replacement, meaning decking or trusses, or for a change of roof line. If we find rotten decking, we tell you before going further.
The rules and fees are on the City of Wahoo permits page. The Building and Inspection office is at 608 N Linden St, Suite B, phone 402-443-3222. Properties outside city limits fall under Saunders County, and we check with the right office for those jobs.
Exterior Services for Wahoo Homes and Buildings

Older Brick in Wahoo's Courthouse Square
The Saunders County Courthouse in Wahoo was built in 1904 and 1905 of brick, stone and concrete in the Romanesque Revival style, and it was listed on the National Register on January 10, 1990. The Wahoo Burlington Depot has been on the Register since 1985. Older brick homes and storefronts nearby share the same weathering problems: open mortar joints, cracked sills and spalled brick.
For older brick, our tuckpointing and brick repair work uses mortar matched to the wall, not a hard modern mix that can damage soft brick. A memorial to the submarine USS Wahoo stands on the courthouse lawn.
